Faced with the prospect of losing at home for the second time in three nights, the Washington Capitals made a ferocious late charge to score three unanswered goals and topple the Islanders, 4-3, in a Stanley Cup playoff game at Verizon Center in Washington.

Jason Chimera sent a shot over Islanders goaltender Jaroslav Halak’s right shoulder at 7 minutes 37 seconds of the third period to snap a 3-3 tie and even the best-of-seven series at a game each. Game 3 is to be played Sunday at noon at Nassau Coliseum.
